2025-2025 Transfer Portal Needs, Wants, Updates

[NEIACyclone]

I’m over my head in who is out there and who we have a legit chance at but atleast it’s a spot to catalog the upcoming rat race…

Goes without saying we need the BAP (Best Available Player) if I can steal from NFL Draftniks at our upper weights 174-197…

Only 2 I will throw in with my limited knowledge…
197- Novak from Wyo- only reason would bc he’s from Minnesota and maybe wants to get closer to home? Did we recruit out of HS?
197-Little from Little Rock…maybe he wants to join a top 5 national club

Isn't Volk a 125 pounder?

 

[NEIACyclone]

That’s what I get for trying to start a thread, yes meant to type Joey Novak!

 

[Joeylee]

novak, little, facundo,and could see one of patrick kennedy and gabe arnold being on the outs at iowa

 

[BCClone]

Can Schon be a serviceable 97? 84 seems like our biggest need.

I think Bartelt is the plan at 184

 

[Joeylee]

I think Bartelt is the plan at 184

I would be all for this. if we could bring in facundo for 165 and someone for 197 and stay healthy i think our lineup could be unbelievably tough

125-castillo/meza
133- Frost
141 swid/AE
149- Swid/AE
157- Paniro
165-Facundo
174-MJ
184- Bartelt
197- Novak/Little
Hwt- Yonger
this is assuming chittum takes his redshirt year to get healthy

 

[TheJackWePack5]

I think Bartelt is the plan at 184

I’m ok with that, but it’s a bit nerve wracking that our current 184 contenders (Bartelt and Naak) both had significant injuries this year.

I do think Novak would be in play for Minnesota (Salazar will be gone) and Elam is probably wearing a different black and gold singlet.

This is a good lineup. 84/97 need upgrades and that’s it.

If paniro AAs this year I can’t see him going up willingly. He would lose some of the advantage he had a 149 which is to be stronger than everyone else.

 

[buf87]

I can't automatically eliminate Paniro or Jacob Frost.

 

[Mead For My Horses]

I wonder if Casey could do 157 while Cody takes a redshirt.

 

[cycloneman003]

I think the wish list is pretty simply Facundo (whichever weight he wants 165/174) and a 197. A 184 would be the cherry on top, but obviously I think expectations are high for Bartelt.

I'd throw up if the 197 is AJ Ferrari. That deal would have to include Angelo and even then it'd be gross.

 

[NEIACyclone]

Has there been “legs” to Facundo from Penn State? We definitely need to zero in on the top 5 rosters that guys get recruited over and or don’t quite fit as once expected and be the best option for them to join a new team and culture!

Schon impressed as he gained more mat time and definitely feel he has a future. What that entails remain to be seen but if we can upgrade I don’t want to settle for “serviceable” with what next years roster looks like on paper…

With the rash of injuries to some of the younger more “unproven” guys I definitely don’t like leaning heavily on them to fill the void right away. If we can get that transfer get him and allow a slower more complete recovery combined with a new wrestling partner in the room

Would this be the set of “eyes” that was mentioned at the Flo event a few weeks ago that would see the value of training alongside Carr in the CRTC? Referencing Facundo?!

 

[Stevetasker]

Is Evan Frost expected to be back at 33 next year?

 

[Primetime26]

if it were me, im going to let euton and riggins battle it out at 165. really like euton. has a motor like caseys, which seems to fit this staffs style. i value points at nationals over a few dual wins. and if that means throwing the money we have towards a high school recruit (future points), then so be it.

That's a top 2-3 roster if everyone stayed healthy.

I keep hearing rocky elam might be on the move too not sure if he would be wanting to go hwt though

I’d take a 4X AA fits our hole at 197…was an Ag Major at Mizzou if he hasn’t already graduated, sign him up!
